To examine women's attempts at control during labour in water.
An exploratory design consisting of tape-recorded, in-depth interviews using the grounded theory approach.
A medium sized town in the south of England. The data were collected in the maternity unit of a local general hospital set in a semi-rural location.
Nine women who had chosen to spend their labour process in water. The participants selected had experienced a normal pregnancy and given birth to a healthy baby at term.
Labour in water was seen by all but one of the participants as beneficial, particularly as they felt that this gave them more control over the process. They valued their own involvement in determining the outcome of their care. The support of the midwife in making decisions was seen as necessary to remain in control.
Labour in water was a positive experience for this group of healthy women. The feeling of freedom to make decisions, however, was balanced with a wish for the support of the midwife.
研究女性在水中分娩时的控制尝试。
采用扎根理论方法进行录音深入访谈的探索性设计。
英格兰南部的一个中等规模城镇。数据收集于当地一家位于半乡村地区的综合医院的产科病房。
九名选择在水中分娩的女性。所选参与者经历了正常妊娠并足月产下健康婴儿。
除一名参与者外，其他所有参与者都认为水中分娩有益，特别是因为她们觉得这让她们对分娩过程有了更多控制。她们重视自己参与决定护理结果。她们认为助产士在决策方面的支持对于保持控制权是必要的。
对于这群健康女性来说，水中分娩是一次积极的体验。然而，做决定的自由感与对助产士支持的渴望相平衡。
